Very good. Oranges and greens would pretty much look the same, would be a nightmare for those 2 players against the likes of Kerry / Donegal.
Going with the law of averages, there is in a likelihood 1 player in each squad with colourblindness

8% of European males are colour blind to some extent so on a squad there might be 3 or 4 with a problem.
Women are <1%.

Red/Green is the most common problem, so black helped against Kerry, but for Galway their jerseys are dark and would simply look black to anyone unable to see red, so a lighter colour is appropriate.

I've said it for years and will say it forever... one team should be in all white and one team should not be allowed white. The Yanks have got this one right.

My 47 year old eyes find these colours trying, among many other examples.

Mayo v Galway a struggle.
Galway v Cork a struggle.
Armagh v Down a struggle.

There are other ways, for instance teams should not both wear white shorts. In Armagh v Down the shorts are a help at least. Or teams could have a version of their jersey with a hoop etc.
But they should try.

Plus, if goal keepers are going to play outfield then they should not wear the same colour as the refa-effing-ree.

And Derry hi need to go back to the 360 degree hoop not the ridiculous 180 degree hoop. Who's stupid idea was that?

Heard last night of paid up club members asking for 5 plus tickets each. Nb none of these people have attended any matches this year except ulster final and last Saturday. They may not get these but given the club is small they are likely to receive more than 1 per person. I think this is very, very unfair. If you are a member and lucky to get, it should be 1 member 1 ticket.
(Just done a quick calculation on how much we spent on tickets following Armagh this year alone - 2'adults & 1 juvenile from league inc season tickets to AI final amounted to over £925 just for tickets never mind travel, food and stay in cork, so expensive enough but worth it). 
Good luck to those still waiting and hope all real fans get sorted!

The old "I heard".They may ask for 5 tickets as people will have an unrealistic entitlement.that doesn't mean they will get it.I spoke to club secretary before Ulster final and I Said you must he tortured.says that some woman who young fella plays u12 and she wasn't a member asked to put name down for 8 tickets, yet wouldn't pay 30 quid membership.

Tell her to join Mullabrack.

Little Emma Pengelly home club. Wonder if she will attend?

Not much between the sides.

The thing that tips it for me is the been there, lost, got back again and win thing.

Happened Tyrone in 2018-2021. Galway final 2 years ago. I know Mayo (and England) prove that's not a thing but it tips it in Galway's favour for me.

Hopefully Galway follow in the neighbours footsteps;)

Think our hurt of not getting over the line in those tight games will drive us home in this one.

Either way the colour and craic around the county this week has been second to none and a pleasure to be apart of.

Tyrone lost ai final in 2018 Mayo lost in 2020 so by your logic is 2021 Mayo should have won as they have more recent final experience?

The colour and craic should be enjoyed.

I think an Armagh win, coupled with a change of sorts, will galvanise the Tyrone support but we've been damp for 24 months.

You's will be back unfortunately. Look how competitive yous were against Donegal the first day with a pile of kids playing. Canavan and Morgan are 2 of the best in the business at what they do.

As great as this run has been, I've git it in the back of my head that we'll draw Tyrone in the first round of Ulster and you's will be mad to get a cut at us and bring us back down to Earth. Hopefully we're sitting with Sam in the bag though.

Explain, please.

I said, personally, it tips it in the balance for Galway. The experience of being in an AI Final. Not a science.

And sure would you care?

There's no better feeling than being champions of Ireland on Christmas Day with a couple of gins in you.

your comparison with Tyrone being in previous finals even though the final they were in was three years previous while mayo had been beat the year before.your reference regarding Tyrone isn't really relevant to the point you seem to be trying to make, but I'd agree being there on the big day for the majority of Galway players will give them a bit of a leg up.
